Abstract
[programme note]
Three Venus Haiku (2009)
I.
Let it be nameless
It is beyond the touch
of utterance and life
II.
She runs and runs.
In all the long years
never has she carried such sunshine
III.
Saftly, saftly lichts
the morning star. The black
abyss will nae oot it
From Through the Letterbox: Haikus by George Bruce, Renaissance Press. Reprinted with permission.
Three short pieces: a musical response to the poetry of George Bruce, the last surviving poet of the Scottish Literary Renaissance, who would have been 100 last year.
I. Piano and cello fused together as a single instrument, singing from a great distance.
II. Inside a beam of light.
III. A never-ending lullaby.
